Value Collection 40913 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40913 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and linkage hardware in mechanical and industrial applications. It measures 3/32 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, with extended prongs that spread wider than standard cotter pins for added retention in thicker castings or assemblies with limited access. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-use environments. This type of fastener is installed by plumbers, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals wherever a positive mechanical lock is required on a through-hole pin.

Extended prong cotter pins like the 40913 are commonly used in linkage rods, actuator arms, clevis assemblies, and pivot points across HVAC damper linkages, plumbing valve actuators, and light mechanical equipment. The extended prong design is suited for applications where a standard cotter pin would seat too deeply or where the prong spread must clear a wider boss or bracket. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, this pin is appropriate for maintenance stock or small production runs.

Key Features

• Extended prong configuration for positive retention in thicker assemblies or wider boss clearances
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in general-use environments
• Steel construction for reliable shear resistance under mechanical load
• 3/32-inch diameter sized for standard clevis and linkage pin through-holes
• 2-1/2-inch length accommodates moderate-depth assemblies
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units suits maintenance shop stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard maintenance fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/32-inch extended prong cotter pin in steel with zinc plating.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are a single-use fastener — always replace with a new pin after removal; never reuse a bent or spread pin. Insert the pin through the hole until the eye seats flush, then spread the prongs using needle-nose pliers, bending one prong toward the assembly and one away. Power down or de-energize any actuator or mechanical assembly before servicing linkage hardware. Disposal of removed pins should follow standard shop waste practices.
